About the Item
An exceptional, fine and impressive, large antique American sterling silver plate; an addition to our dining silverware collection.
This exceptional American sterling silver plate has a plain circular rounded form with a plain circular central well.
The well of this large plate is plain and unembellished.
The broad border is ornamented with a Fine and impressive bright cut engraved coat of arms depicting a Barry of seven above the motto 'Pro Patria Et Legibus' - For our country and the law.
The impressive coat of arms is surmounted by the bright cut engraved helm and crest displaying an armoured arm embowed holding in the hand five arrows, below the motto 'Unite'.
The underside of the plate bears the later engraved presentation inscription 'New York Racing Association, The Correction, AQUEDUCT, 1976, Won by Jaques D Wimpfheimer's Shy Dawn'
The hallmarks struck to the underside of the plate include:
Maker's mark: S Kirk & Son Inc
Silver quality/purity mark: Sterling (.925, 925/1000)
This variation of the maker's mark was used between 1925-1932, determining the date of this plate as circa 1929

Kirk & Son, and when taken over in 1979 by the Stieff Company, the company was renamed Kirk Stieff to withhold and capitalise on their glowing prominence.

View AllAntique Set of Three Sterling Silver Dinner Plates
By Thomas Heming
Located in Jesmond, Newcastle Upon Tyne
An exceptional, fine and impressive set of three antique Georgian English sterling silver dinner plates/second course dishes, an addition to our range of collectable dining silverware.
These exceptional antique George II sterling silver dinner plates/second course dishes has a circular shaped form.
The raised border is embellished with an impressive bright cut engraved marital coat of arms incorporating the motto 'Tria juncta in uno', three joined in one.
The rim of each antique second course dish is encircled with a Fine and impressive applied gadroon decorated border accented with alternating scrolling leaf designs.
The circular well of each plate is plain and unembellished.
The underside of each plate retains the silversmith's center punch mark in addition to the original item numbers 9, 10 and 12 and the original scratch weight of 32 troy ounces and 4 pennyweights (32.2 troy ounces), as to be expected the measured weight has subtly diminished in keeping with age to 29.9 troy ounces.
Larger second course dishes such as these are becoming increasingly difficult to locate.
These pieces are a segment of a more extensive table service incorporating dishes, trays and platters; through time the service will have been divided.
